# Spanish Launch Certification

Launching in Spanish? DialectOS certifies whether your AI/localized Spanish is ready for real users across priority dialects before customers find the mistakes.

## What we catch

- Mexico vs Spain wording issues such as risky `coger` translations
- Puerto Rico / Cuba / Dominican Republic transit terms such as `guagua`
- Panama-specific taboo or identity-loaded terms such as `chombo`
- Argentine / Uruguayan / Central American voseo morphology
- Spain `vosotros` / plural-address expectations
- formality drift in billing, password, support, and security copy
- broken placeholders such as `{userName}` and `%{count}`
- broken URLs, Markdown, code fences, API tables, and locale JSON
- AI translation drift, over-localization, under-localization, and taboo-copying

## Deliverables

Every audit includes:

1. MQM-aligned certification report
2. launch-readiness grade
3. dialect risk table
4. exact issue list with severity and category
5. recommended fixes / remediation notes
6. certification artifacts for your team or investors

## Important limits

DialectOS certification is an automated MQM-aligned localization QA artifact. It is not a legal guarantee, and it does not replace full native-speaker review for legal, medical, regulated, or brand-sensitive campaigns.
